Jose Ortega y Gasset

"An 'unemployed' existence is a worse negation of life than death itself."

"Life is a series of collisions with the future it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be."

"Life is an operation which is done in a forward direction. One lives toward the future, because to live consists inexorably in doing, in each individual life making itself."

"We have need of history in its entirety, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it."

"Life is a series of collisions with the future it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be."

"Love is that splendid triggering of human vitality the supreme activity which nature affords anyone for going out of himself toward someone else."
